Journal : The question naturally arises : When did the Evening Dispatch become the organ of Beatty and anti-Hayes movement t" Before or Bince the appointment of a Postmaster for the Columbus office? Befublican. Cilorlfylnff Americana la Fern. A dispatch has just been received at the State Department from our Minister in Peru, giving an account of the ovation at Lima to the officers and men who were on board the Huascar during her engagement with the British men-of-war Shah and Amethyst. On the landing of the officers and men from the English steamer they were met by a delegation of ladies who crowned them with laurel leaves. Their arrival was the occasion of an immense ovation, equaling a triumphal entry. A procession with bands of music and banners with patriotic devices, breathing intonse feeling against Englishmen and for the glory of all Americans, paraded the principal streets amidst the wildest enthusiasm, while from balconies along the route Dowers were thrown in profusion. The Government abstained from any interference with the. proceedings, and after several speeches the crowd peaceably dispersed. It was said that the affair was managed by the Ultramou-taues, Mot Ila.etl on Train. Tlilladetpbit Bulletin. 1 At a meeting of the friends of the Workingnian's Party on Saturday night in tbia city, one of the resolutions declared that "restrictive laws deprive associated labor of the right to regulate its own affairs." This is eves a little further from the truth than the poor working-man usually gets when he attempts to ottsr his views. The fact is that "associated labor" has for years past not only regulated its own affairs, but has controlled the afiairs of employers. There is not a trade union in this city to-day which has not in full force Uwb which deprive employers of mastery of their uwn affairs. E's-Bovcruor Boies. There is a good deal of lofty lying floating around the country now concerning the confession of ox-Governor Moats of South Carolina. Some of the rumors implicate ex-Governor Chamberlain, and place the whole amount of plunder which the carpet baggers were guilty of at $10,-000,000. There Is not a particle of ground for these reports. Moses made his statements in secret and they have not been given out at all by any person who is trustworthy or who has means for as certaining the truth. The reports are tilearly grossly exaggerated if not wholly false. The Democratic candidates for Treas urer, Auditor and Sheriff in Jeflerson countr are out in a card in whioh they offer to return to the Treasury, if elected, $800, $500 and $300 respectively, of the annual amounts received by the persons at present occupying these offices. This sort of thine in law is what is called bribery. It is a plain offer to bribe voters, and if these nice gentlemen should be t-leoted they could be excluded lrom oltice. We believe there are caeee ot that kind in pur court reports. Dayton Journal. UabIIw nova Ita li a . i man t vfnllf- flinil- 11 J " - find anti-Hayes votes in his pocket.

The spacious parlor wag filled to overflowing- by guests of the honse and citizens of the town, anxlons to grasp the hand of the President and his accomp- pustiaa wite. At uisn station a tew moments were passed in handshaking, and the cheera of the crowd, as the train moved away, expressed mora fully than words the feeling they entertained. At the station at Upper Bartlet a number of citizens were oongregated and passed along the oar shaking hands wiih the President and Mrs. Hayes. The ride from this point was much emoyed by all The train was stopped at a convenient oint, allowing a line view down the val-ey of the Saco and the old Willey House. The party arrived at this place at 11:30 for dinner, before which a short reception was held in the parlor, the guests of the house greeting the officials and welcoming them to the house. At one o'elock the cars were taken for Plymouth.After a banquet at the Crawford House general handshaking toot place, and Mrs. Hayes had a few pleasant words for thp ladies, when the party left for Fabyan's, where the train was taken. At Bethlehem coaches wera provided for Maplewood, where a speech of wel come waa made by Francis Well), of Philadelphia. The President replied : 'J !hank you heartily for this welcome, and I have no (rouble in choosing between the beauties of Datura and the beauties spoken of." At the same time, advancing, the President took the hand of the nearest lady, and continued shaking hands with all present. Teams were immediately taken for the Sinclair House, where the President was greeted by a thousand people, a band of music, and entbuniastm cheers, from the balcony the President spoke as fol lows: Fellow-citizens: I thank you cor dially, one and all, for this cordial greet ing, and 1 wish it were possible 1 could form the acquaintance of each of you and take you by the hand; but our journey allows but a moment at each place. I am sure you do not desire me to make a political speech. You are too sensible a crowd for that; but I am Bure we agree in a few things, however much we may differ in others. There are many things about which we can differ, such as business and secular affairs, without discussing our political differences. Now we are agreed as Americans, I think, that all parts of the Constitution shall be obeyed the parts that are new aa well as the parts that are old; that it will N grand thing to dwell together in unity. Vc nave disagreed in me past through the evils of war the country has borne; but these things art pM'j lyt 8 have a brief period 'at least of perfect harmony and unity.

I don't see that you make much difference in these people, although the last bad the bad taste to vote against me, and this is his first visit Worth; but hen with us in common interest. Tbe results of the war are to be accepted by all the people of all parts of tbe country, botb JNortb and South. 1 have now the pleasure of introducing to you Postmaster General Key : TELEGRAPH POOL. Combination of tbo Western Tnlon and' Atlantic and 1'aclUo Companies.New York, Aug. 21. The Times says the terms of agreement between the Western Union and Atlantlo and Pacific com mittees are aB follows : Keene and Sage are to turn over 71,000 shares of Atlantic and Pacifio Btock at 25 to William H. Vanderbilt as trustee for the Western Union company, Vanderbilt, in return, is to give them an equivalent in stock of the Western Union company at 72, The two companies are to continue to carry on business, and all outstanding contracts; are to be fulfilled; but the earnings of both are to be pooled and the Atlantic and Pacific is to receive oneelghth of tbe gross amount, the Western Union retain ing the remaining eeveneighths. The country its to be redistricted, super fluous telegraph othues are to be consolidated, and rates are to be raised to tbe old standard, Ihe form of contract entered into is based on the pooling con tract used by the Direct andAnglo-American Cable companies. The hitch was in reganl to the percentage which the Atlantic and Pacific should receive. It was settled on a basia of eight per cent. Tbe New Arrangement Takes Effect ininsuiat.ly. New Yobk, Aug. 21. President Or- ton to-day said the Western Union company would receive 87 J per cent, and the Atlantic and Pacific 12i per cent of tbe gross pooled receipts of both companies, lbe arrangement went into elite t this morning and the decision of the confer ence would be final. The written contract agreed upon will not be given to the public because it contains many details which do not concern the public The Western Union and Atlantic and Pacifio companies are now practically one company. Tbey will still be run as two companies, each retaining its old officers and general organization, but all profits resulting from their telegraphing will be pooled. This arrangement wiil last for twenty Tears, and this is tbe wbole ar. rangement, private details excepted. Of course it follows that rates will be advanced, but they will be advanced only so far as shall secure a fair profit to tbe com panies. We have bought a majority of Atlantic and Pacific stock, between (I,- 000 and 72,000 shares, bnt nearer 72,000. 1 cao not give tbe exact number. Mr. Orton did not say what price was paid, but it is believed that for nearly 72,000 shares at 25 per cent., there were paid about 22,000 Bhares of Western Union at 75 per cent. The Atlantic and Pacific company is therefore now fully under control of the Western Union com' oanv. Great satisfaction is f.lt and expressed by the latter company. A prominent Western Union director believed the rates would be only slightly advanced. Tbe company desired to act equitably and moderately, iwentybve oenis lor a tele graphic dispatch to Umsba was too low, No company could sffjrd to send messages to points so distant at that price; but the directors Intended to make but a small advance in tbeir charges, A meeting of the Executive, committee of the Western Union company this morning ratified in full the proceedings of the joint committee last night, and the contract made by that committee waa placed on the records. Heretofore it has cost the two com panies from sixty to seventy per centum to carry on their business, bat it is now believed that by virtue of the new ar rangements expenses will be reduced to mty per centum.

Minneapolis millers are now paying the producers of wbcat $I.UQ a bushel or their product. After supplying the wants of her own people, Minnesota will have 25,U0u,UUU bushels Of wheat to sen. liaising wheat is a more profitable oocupation than howling for "bread or blood "around the streets of the overcrowded cities. The receipts of wheat, at Chicago, for last week, were 345,000 buBhels, against 87,820 bushels in same week last year; and 2,118,991 buBhels of corn, against 1.810,681 bushels last year. The increase in oats, rye and barley is equally large, and this fact would indicate that the farmers are busy in pushing their surplus grain into market. Commissioner of Health DeWolf, of Chicago, has issued an order requiring thai an auuas wno nave not peep successfully vaccinated within a period of ten years, and all childreu between the ages of ten and hi teen, shall be vaccinated forthwith. The prevalence of smallpox in certain of the most squalid portions of the city, and tbe determination to prevent its spread, are the reasons for the order. The Commissioner says over forty cases have been reported since June 1. The Troy Times says : The statement made not long since that the treasury of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers contained $500,000 is contradicted now. It is said that those members who struck on the Erie railway last spring were prom ised $60 each per month by the Brother hood, but tbe pledge has not been ful filled, only $03 having been paid in four months. There will be no assessment of the members to make up the deficiency, and it is asserted that the treasury is empty. Man who are disposed to strike will probably repose less confidence in offers of help from that source in future. Eev. George Harding, editor of the Indianapolis Herald, and Sol. Hathaway, a Bohemian, had a fight Monday evening. There has been a feud between the two men for several months, and the feeling has grown very bitter. Each gentleman had threatened to publish naughty things about the other, and Harding anticipated the publication by knocking Hathaway over the head th a cane. The men clinched, and the first round resulted in a fall fur Hathaway and first blood for Harding. When the fight began to look serious spectators interfered to prevent bloodshed, Harding manifesting a desire to perforate hie antagonist with a bullet, Mr. Vanderbilt says the $100,000 whioh he has given to his railroad men will be distributed just as soon as tbe auditors and clerks can make out the awards. "They are at work on them now," he said, "and just as soon as they can be got ready they will be sent directly to the paymaster who will pay at once, beginning wherever he may happen to be on the road at the time the rolls reach him. You see we begin to pay off on the first of each month, and we require the paymaster to pay every man himself right through to Buffalo, making regular payment and the payment of awards as he goeB, and then on his return will pay the rent of tne awards." Tbe telephone has at last been put to practical use. One of these instruments has been put up at the establishment of the contractor for manufacturing the wire for the Brooklyn bridge, connecting his establishment with the bridge superintendent's office. The piers of the Brooklyn bridge are also being connected by telephones with tbe superintendent's office, so mat an me movements ol tbe "travelers" in carrying the wires across from pier to pier can be communicated and di rected withont the qsa of signal flags as at present. The distances being short sounds are distinctly transmitted. A New York paper says the extension of tbese telephones all over the city in place oi tne electric telegraph is thought to be only a question ot time. The Directors of the Texas and Pacific Railroad company met at Philadeluhia on Tuesday last, and made a statement of tbe nature and extent of the demands for aid asked from the General Govenment. The distance remaining to be built is 1400 miles lrom fort Worth, in Texas, to San Diego, in California. The amount asked is $33,000 per mile not in money, but in a guarantee of bonds, carrying five per cent, interest, auuu per mile to remain in the United State Treasury. The liability of the Government is to be limited to $2.- 600,000 per year, and the road shall be under Uovernment control. The security offered is a first mortgage on the road and on 18,000,000 acres of land, which the company holds under grants from Con. grass and the State of Texas. Ohio.

Nbwabk, Ohio, August 21, ro the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : The workingmen's meeting, h.eld ip this place last evening, was a gathering of no inconsiderable importance, at least in point of numbers. No doubt many who helped tg swell the crowd bad no other object in being present than idle curiosity, or a desire to know something of the iilans of this new political organization. rior to tbo meeting, which was held in the Opera House, a procession of work- ingmen paraded the streets, headed by the city band, in the rear of which was a transparency with the following inscrip. tions, head lines, as they no doubt were intended to be, ot the platform or con fession of faith of the party: "We are sick of Republicans and tired of Democracy." "Let the people rule, not money." "Labor seeks its iust reward." As soon as the crowd bad filled the Opera House a chairmap and other officers necessary to, conduct a meeting, were soon found, and the meeting proceeded to business by the chair select ing all the committees, which gave him hut little trouble, as everything waa cut-and. dried in advance. It would be diffi cult to find a set of novices anywhere who can show more aptitude in setting things up than aid the managers of last night's meeting. The platform was read and adopted without dissent, and in spirit, as a whole, never deviated from the time of what might, oould, would or should be to the workingmen s advantage. On the heels of this followed a speech from a man who said be never knew any. thing but work muscular. This was evident. He said that capital always had proteoted itself; that labor must do the same thing. To accomplish this tbe only resort was the ballot-box. Laboring men must band together for self protec tion, etc. Previous to tho speech a poem entitled, "The Moneyless Man " was read by the Secretary of the meeting. Just for what purpose this was brought out it would be difficult to determine, unless to stir tbe bad blood of men who were teas fortunate than some of their neighbors in being supplied with this world s goods. A Mr. Cash was the next speaker (there is magic in tbe name). He too was workingman, and was thankful be was not ashamed to labor. He wanted to know if this country would not ba a country of idleness were it not for tbe la borer. Be Bald labor must be protected, and tbe only way to do it was a resort to the ballot-box. tie also said that no man but an intelligent laboring man should hold office. Thus at one sweep ignoring tbe rights of every one not a laborer; say ing to the merchant, the farmer, the lawyer, the dootor and others, "We do not dispute your rights to live in free Ameri ca, but we do say you Bhall not assist in either making or dispensing the laws of the country. This is our prerogative. What the benefits to the masses that are to arise from this new political organize tion are to be, is at present difficult to be seen. It is to be hoped its managers mean better than tbey promise. Clrclevllle I. oval. ClRCLEVILLB, Aug. 21 To the Editor of the Ohio Stole Journal: F. M. Shulze, Satmiel Morris, William J. Weaver, L. D.

Strange Phenomena. A special to tbe St. Louis Republican from Mt. Vernon, Illinois, says: Farm ers and others who arrived in this city yesterday from that portion of our oounfy called Elk Prairie, twelve miles distant, reported as having occurred on tbe previous evening one of the most terrific rain and hail storms ever experienced in the the locality named. It was in some re spects a moot remarkable visitation. Tbe torm embraced an area of only four or five miles. Within that limit rain fell in torrentB flooding the previously parched elds and roads until the water rushed about like a foaming river. But the tartling and interesting feature of tbe event was the enoimous size and quan- ty ot tbe hail stones that fell. Old farmers who in their time have seen many strange eights, agree in the opinion that no such spectacle has ever before been witnessed in these parte. The size of tbepo bail stones and the vio- ence wi'.h which tbey descended may te magined from tbe numerous birds, chick. ens, etc , known to have been killed. 0 the former one man pioked up a dozm in is yard alter tbe storm bad subsided: while in the matter of poultry the loss is ported to be very great, .brief as was the storm in ita duration, yet agentleman of veracity informs your correspondent that the hail lay bo thick upon the ground that it waB scooped up by buckets lull, many of the stones being as large as goose eggs, some much larger.

General Garfield's Home. A year ago Gen. Garfield bought a farm in Mentor, a township on the Lake shore, twenty five miles east of Cleveland. Ha has 156 acres of good land, lapping over one of the three ridges that run parallel to the lake, about a mile and a half apart, and are its ancient shores. His house is a story and half farm house, with the low half story only viBible at the gable ends, and with nothing about it to distinguish it lrom hundreds ot other farm houses, unless it be its fresh coat of white paiut, its broad piazza, and the croquet lawn in front. A little square building on the edge of the orchard a few steps away, containing a single room walled round with books, is tbe Uenerai's study and office. Back of the house there are spacious barns and stacks of yellow straw, and a lane that leads between mead-ows fields of tall corn down to the pastures, In front is tbe high road to tbe village of Mentor, a mile distant, and to the county town, Painsvllle, live miles further east. On the southern horizon Little Mountain lifts its low green wall-a very little mountain indeed, but big enough to have pine forests, rocks, and a superb outlook over the fruitful country and tbe blue lake.

Befublican. Cilorlfylnff Americana la Fern. A dispatch has just been received at the State Department from our Minister in Peru, giving an account of the ovation at Lima to the officers and men who were on board the Huascar during her engagement with the British men-of-war Shah and Amethyst. On the landing of the officers and men from the English steamer they were met by a delegation of ladies who crowned them with laurel leaves. Their arrival was the occasion of an immense ovation, equaling a triumphal entry. A procession with bands of music and banners with patriotic devices, breathing intonse feeling against Englishmen and for the glory of all Americans, paraded the principal streets amidst the wildest enthusiasm, while from balconies along the route Dowers were thrown in profusion. The Government abstained from any interference with the. proceedings, and after several speeches the crowd peaceably dispersed. It was said that the affair was managed by the Ultramou-taues, Mot Ila.etl on Train. Tlilladetpbit Bulletin. 1 At a meeting of the friends of the Workingnian's Party on Saturday night in tbia city, one of the resolutions declared that "restrictive laws deprive associated labor of the right to regulate its own affairs." This is eves a little further from the truth than the poor working-man usually gets when he attempts to ottsr his views. The fact is that "associated labor" has for years past not only regulated its own affairs, but has controlled the afiairs of employers. There is not a trade union in this city to-day which has not in full force Uwb which deprive employers of mastery of their uwn affairs. E's-Bovcruor Boies. There is a good deal of lofty lying floating around the country now concerning the confession of ox-Governor Moats of South Carolina. Some of the rumors implicate ex-Governor Chamberlain, and place the whole amount of plunder which the carpet baggers were guilty of at $10,-000,000. There Is not a particle of ground for these reports. Moses made his statements in secret and they have not been given out at all by any person who is trustworthy or who has means for as certaining the truth. The reports are tilearly grossly exaggerated if not wholly false. The Democratic candidates for Treas urer, Auditor and Sheriff in Jeflerson countr are out in a card in whioh they offer to return to the Treasury, if elected, $800, $500 and $300 respectively, of the annual amounts received by the persons at present occupying these offices. This sort of thine in law is what is called bribery. It is a plain offer to bribe voters, and if these nice gentlemen should be t-leoted they could be excluded lrom oltice. We believe there are caeee ot that kind in pur court reports. Dayton Journal. UabIIw nova Ita li a . i man t vfnllf- flinil- 11 J " - find anti-Hayes votes in his pocket.

Travel Besomed Yesterday Horning Cbawford House. N. H.. Anir. 26. President Hayes and party left Fabyan's at 7:4ft, and by a special train passed through Notch. The morning was clear and warm, and observation from the ear gave a fine view of the mountains. Upon reaching North Conway, at 9:10, oarrlages wera oouunsa ana in. hearsay House visited, where a reception was held by the Executive and Cabinet. The greeting wai we warmest given in JMw Hampshire. The spacious parlor wag filled to overflowing- by guests of the honse and citizens of the town, anxlons to grasp the hand of the President and his accomp- pustiaa wite. At uisn station a tew moments were passed in handshaking, and the cheera of the crowd, as the train moved away, expressed mora fully than words the feeling they entertained. At the station at Upper Bartlet a number of citizens were oongregated and passed along the oar shaking hands wiih the President and Mrs. Hayes. The ride from this point was much emoyed by all The train was stopped at a convenient oint, allowing a line view down the val-ey of the Saco and the old Willey House. The party arrived at this place at 11:30 for dinner, before which a short reception was held in the parlor, the guests of the house greeting the officials and welcoming them to the house. At one o'elock the cars were taken for Plymouth.After a banquet at the Crawford House general handshaking toot place, and Mrs. Hayes had a few pleasant words for thp ladies, when the party left for Fabyan's, where the train was taken. At Bethlehem coaches wera provided for Maplewood, where a speech of wel come waa made by Francis Well), of Philadelphia. The President replied : 'J !hank you heartily for this welcome, and I have no (rouble in choosing between the beauties of Datura and the beauties spoken of." At the same time, advancing, the President took the hand of the nearest lady, and continued shaking hands with all present. Teams were immediately taken for the Sinclair House, where the President was greeted by a thousand people, a band of music, and entbuniastm cheers, from the balcony the President spoke as fol lows: Fellow-citizens: I thank you cor dially, one and all, for this cordial greet ing, and 1 wish it were possible 1 could form the acquaintance of each of you and take you by the hand; but our journey allows but a moment at each place. I am sure you do not desire me to make a political speech. You are too sensible a crowd for that; but I am Bure we agree in a few things, however much we may differ in others. There are many things about which we can differ, such as business and secular affairs, without discussing our political differences. Now we are agreed as Americans, I think, that all parts of the Constitution shall be obeyed the parts that are new aa well as the parts that are old; that it will N grand thing to dwell together in unity.

Combination of tbo Western Tnlon and' Atlantic and 1'aclUo Companies.New York, Aug. 21. The Times says the terms of agreement between the Western Union and Atlantlo and Pacific com mittees are aB follows : Keene and Sage are to turn over 71,000 shares of Atlantic and Pacifio Btock at 25 to William H. Vanderbilt as trustee for the Western Union company, Vanderbilt, in return, is to give them an equivalent in stock of the Western Union company at 72, The two companies are to continue to carry on business, and all outstanding contracts; are to be fulfilled; but the earnings of both are to be pooled and the Atlantic and Pacific is to receive oneelghth of tbe gross amount, the Western Union retain ing the remaining eeveneighths. The country its to be redistricted, super fluous telegraph othues are to be consolidated, and rates are to be raised to tbe old standard, Ihe form of contract entered into is based on the pooling con tract used by the Direct andAnglo-American Cable companies. The hitch was in reganl to the percentage which the Atlantic and Pacific should receive. It was settled on a basia of eight per cent. Tbe New Arrangement Takes Effect ininsuiat.ly. New Yobk, Aug. 21. President Or- ton to-day said the Western Union company would receive 87 J per cent, and the Atlantic and Pacific 12i per cent of tbe gross pooled receipts of both companies, lbe arrangement went into elite t this morning and the decision of the confer ence would be final. The written contract agreed upon will not be given to the public because it contains many details which do not concern the public The Western Union and Atlantic and Pacifio companies are now practically one company. Tbey will still be run as two companies, each retaining its old officers and general organization, but all profits resulting from their telegraphing will be pooled. This arrangement wiil last for twenty Tears, and this is tbe wbole ar. rangement, private details excepted. Of course it follows that rates will be advanced, but they will be advanced only so far as shall secure a fair profit to tbe com panies. We have bought a majority of Atlantic and Pacific stock, between (I,- 000 and 72,000 shares, bnt nearer 72,000. 1 cao not give tbe exact number. Mr. Orton did not say what price was paid, but it is believed that for nearly 72,000 shares at 25 per cent., there were paid about 22,000 Bhares of Western Union at 75 per cent. The Atlantic and Pacific company is therefore now fully under control of the Western Union com' oanv. Great satisfaction is f.lt and expressed by the latter company. A prominent Western Union director believed the rates would be only slightly advanced. Tbe company desired to act equitably and moderately, iwentybve oenis lor a tele graphic dispatch to Umsba was too low, No company could sffjrd to send messages to points so distant at that price; but the directors Intended to make but a small advance in tbeir charges, A meeting of the Executive, committee of the Western Union company this morning ratified in full the proceedings of the joint committee last night, and the contract made by that committee waa placed on the records. Heretofore it has cost the two com panies from sixty to seventy per centum to carry on their business, bat it is now believed that by virtue of the new ar rangements expenses will be reduced to mty per centum.

The Commissioners agree that re organization is demanded, and think it important that the departments of weigh ers and gaugers shall each have a practical expert at the bead, upon whom should rest tbe responsibility, and that each as sistant, who, like the chief, should be an txpert and man of character, shsuld be in bis turn responsible for the laborers to be selected by himself. The Commission say that under the present system a large number of United states weighers who receive salaries of $2500 per annum, and who are assigned respectively to weighing districts, render but little it any personal service to tbe Government. Cards closely resembling United States obligations or securities are bo frequently used as adver tising mediums by business arms that tbe Government, for the protection ol tbe peo ple, nas determined to stop the practice by prosecuting all engaged in the work in future. nnmages of the Plttsbnrg Blots.

Minneapolis millers are now paying the producers of wbcat $I.UQ a bushel or their product. After supplying the wants of her own people, Minnesota will have 25,U0u,UUU bushels Of wheat to sen. liaising wheat is a more profitable oocupation than howling for "bread or blood "around the streets of the overcrowded cities. The receipts of wheat, at Chicago, for last week, were 345,000 buBhels, against 87,820 bushels in same week last year; and 2,118,991 buBhels of corn, against 1.810,681 bushels last year. The increase in oats, rye and barley is equally large, and this fact would indicate that the farmers are busy in pushing their surplus grain into market. Commissioner of Health DeWolf, of Chicago, has issued an order requiring thai an auuas wno nave not peep successfully vaccinated within a period of ten years, and all childreu between the ages of ten and hi teen, shall be vaccinated forthwith. The prevalence of smallpox in certain of the most squalid portions of the city, and tbe determination to prevent its spread, are the reasons for the order. The Commissioner says over forty cases have been reported since June 1. The Troy Times says : The statement made not long since that the treasury of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers contained $500,000 is contradicted now. It is said that those members who struck on the Erie railway last spring were prom ised $60 each per month by the Brother hood, but tbe pledge has not been ful filled, only $03 having been paid in four months. There will be no assessment of the members to make up the deficiency, and it is asserted that the treasury is empty. Man who are disposed to strike will probably repose less confidence in offers of help from that source in future. Eev. George Harding, editor of the Indianapolis Herald, and Sol. Hathaway, a Bohemian, had a fight Monday evening. There has been a feud between the two men for several months, and the feeling has grown very bitter. Each gentleman had threatened to publish naughty things about the other, and Harding anticipated the publication by knocking Hathaway over the head th a cane. The men clinched, and the first round resulted in a fall fur Hathaway and first blood for Harding. When the fight began to look serious spectators interfered to prevent bloodshed, Harding manifesting a desire to perforate hie antagonist with a bullet, Mr. Vanderbilt says the $100,000 whioh he has given to his railroad men will be distributed just as soon as tbe auditors and clerks can make out the awards. "They are at work on them now," he said, "and just as soon as they can be got ready they will be sent directly to the paymaster who will pay at once, beginning wherever he may happen to be on the road at the time the rolls reach him. You see we begin to pay off on the first of each month, and we require the paymaster to pay every man himself right through to Buffalo, making regular payment and the payment of awards as he goeB, and then on his return will pay the rent of tne awards." Tbe telephone has at last been put to practical use. One of these instruments has been put up at the establishment of the contractor for manufacturing the wire for the Brooklyn bridge, connecting his establishment with the bridge superintendent's office. The piers of the Brooklyn bridge are also being connected by telephones with tbe superintendent's office, so mat an me movements ol tbe "travelers" in carrying the wires across from pier to pier can be communicated and di rected withont the qsa of signal flags as at present. The distances being short sounds are distinctly transmitted. A New York paper says the extension of tbese telephones all over the city in place oi tne electric telegraph is thought to be only a question ot time. The Directors of the Texas and Pacific Railroad company met at Philadeluhia on Tuesday last, and made a statement of tbe nature and extent of the demands for aid asked from the General Govenment. The distance remaining to be built is 1400 miles lrom fort Worth, in Texas, to San Diego, in California. The amount asked is $33,000 per mile not in money, but in a guarantee of bonds, carrying five per cent, interest, auuu per mile to remain in the United State Treasury. The liability of the Government is to be limited to $2.- 600,000 per year, and the road shall be under Uovernment control. The security offered is a first mortgage on the road and on 18,000,000 acres of land, which the company holds under grants from Con. grass and the State of Texas. Ohio.

The skeleton of a woman waB found by some laborers removing an ash heap from the cellar of a small millinery store in Lancaster -Monday evening. On one finger two gold rings were found. The store has for years been occupied as a law office, and also as the office of two well known physicians, which probably explains the mystery. The ashes have been accumulating for years, and there is no way of telling how long the skeleton has been there. foreign.

Nbwabk, Ohio, August 21, ro the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : The workingmen's meeting, h.eld ip this place last evening, was a gathering of no inconsiderable importance, at least in point of numbers. No doubt many who helped tg swell the crowd bad no other object in being present than idle curiosity, or a desire to know something of the iilans of this new political organization. rior to tbo meeting, which was held in the Opera House, a procession of work- ingmen paraded the streets, headed by the city band, in the rear of which was a transparency with the following inscrip. tions, head lines, as they no doubt were intended to be, ot the platform or con fession of faith of the party: "We are sick of Republicans and tired of Democracy." "Let the people rule, not money." "Labor seeks its iust reward." As soon as the crowd bad filled the Opera House a chairmap and other officers necessary to, conduct a meeting, were soon found, and the meeting proceeded to business by the chair select ing all the committees, which gave him hut little trouble, as everything waa cut-and. dried in advance. It would be diffi cult to find a set of novices anywhere who can show more aptitude in setting things up than aid the managers of last night's meeting. The platform was read and adopted without dissent, and in spirit, as a whole, never deviated from the time of what might, oould, would or should be to the workingmen s advantage. On the heels of this followed a speech from a man who said be never knew any. thing but work muscular. This was evident. He said that capital always had proteoted itself; that labor must do the same thing. To accomplish this tbe only resort was the ballot-box. Laboring men must band together for self protec tion, etc. Previous to tho speech a poem entitled, "The Moneyless Man " was read by the Secretary of the meeting. Just for what purpose this was brought out it would be difficult to determine, unless to stir tbe bad blood of men who were teas fortunate than some of their neighbors in being supplied with this world s goods. A Mr. Cash was the next speaker (there is magic in tbe name). He too was workingman, and was thankful be was not ashamed to labor. He wanted to know if this country would not ba a country of idleness were it not for tbe la borer. Be Bald labor must be protected, and tbe only way to do it was a resort to the ballot-box. tie also said that no man but an intelligent laboring man should hold office. Thus at one sweep ignoring tbe rights of every one not a laborer; say ing to the merchant, the farmer, the lawyer, the dootor and others, "We do not dispute your rights to live in free Ameri ca, but we do say you Bhall not assist in either making or dispensing the laws of the country. This is our prerogative. What the benefits to the masses that are to arise from this new political organize tion are to be, is at present difficult to be seen. It is to be hoped its managers mean better than tbey promise. Clrclevllle I. oval. ClRCLEVILLB, Aug. 21 To the Editor of the Ohio Stole Journal: F. M. Shulze, Satmiel Morris, William J. Weaver, L. D.

Strange Phenomena. A special to tbe St. Louis Republican from Mt. Vernon, Illinois, says: Farm ers and others who arrived in this city yesterday from that portion of our oounfy called Elk Prairie, twelve miles distant, reported as having occurred on tbe previous evening one of the most terrific rain and hail storms ever experienced in the the locality named. It was in some re spects a moot remarkable visitation. Tbe torm embraced an area of only four or five miles. Within that limit rain fell in torrentB flooding the previously parched elds and roads until the water rushed about like a foaming river. But the tartling and interesting feature of tbe event was the enoimous size and quan- ty ot tbe hail stones that fell. Old farmers who in their time have seen many strange eights, agree in the opinion that no such spectacle has ever before been witnessed in these parte. The size of tbepo bail stones and the vio- ence wi'.h which tbey descended may te magined from tbe numerous birds, chick. ens, etc , known to have been killed. 0 the former one man pioked up a dozm in is yard alter tbe storm bad subsided: while in the matter of poultry the loss is ported to be very great, .brief as was the storm in ita duration, yet agentleman of veracity informs your correspondent that the hail lay bo thick upon the ground that it waB scooped up by buckets lull, many of the stones being as large as goose eggs, some much larger.

General Garfield's Home. A year ago Gen. Garfield bought a farm in Mentor, a township on the Lake shore, twenty five miles east of Cleveland. Ha has 156 acres of good land, lapping over one of the three ridges that run parallel to the lake, about a mile and a half apart, and are its ancient shores. His house is a story and half farm house, with the low half story only viBible at the gable ends, and with nothing about it to distinguish it lrom hundreds ot other farm houses, unless it be its fresh coat of white paiut, its broad piazza, and the croquet lawn in front. A little square building on the edge of the orchard a few steps away, containing a single room walled round with books, is tbe Uenerai's study and office. Back of the house there are spacious barns and stacks of yellow straw, and a lane that leads between mead-ows fields of tall corn down to the pastures, In front is tbe high road to tbe village of Mentor, a mile distant, and to the county town, Painsvllle, live miles further east. On the southern horizon Little Mountain lifts its low green wall-a very little mountain indeed, but big enough to have pine forests, rocks, and a superb outlook over the fruitful country and tbe blue lake.
